Subject: For those who think the background noise ruins it
I have no idea how lucky I was to find this copy of this show – the best one I ever attended. It was over 15 years ago but that yelling you hear in the background and the girls discussing “having seats 6 and 7” during Candyman is me and my friend Ang. Thank God for someone capturing our night on their tapping. I hope more people are as lucky. The reality that I can no longer see Jerry Garcia or the Dead in person is still to this day haunting. But being able to relive my experience through this one and a million tapping is the next best thing I could have ever hoped for.

I was every Omni show from 89 till the end of time. Jerry's gone, the Omni is gone , but the music lives on. The most memerable thing i ever saw there was a group of folks drumming on a street lamp pole outside the venue. The sound was almost as amazing as the Space segment show itself.

This brings back memories i thought were gone forever, and the crowd noise makes it even more reliveable. Bruce Hornsby would have made such a great permanent addition to the band after the tragic loss of Brent, however some of Hornsby is better than none. Seeing Bruce alone is worth the price of admision, but to get all that for a buck?.What a bargain!

The Omni was a turd of a venue from a live sound perspective. This recording captures what only the Grateful Dead could accomplish there, ............Pulling a rabbit from their hats, and something outa nothing,with something to spare as change.
The tapers section there was nearly the sweet spot of that place, but the undiscoved jewel of the Omni was the seating behind the stage. Too bad no one was ever taping there in the fattie section......That spot made the other activities of the main arena,camping and vending areas(while they we're allowed there) aroroud the Omni look like church outings while the preacher was lookin;)

Thanks for the memories!OH !OH! OH!
Can i have my haki-saks back Phil?

Hey Skippy Handleman,
What's wrong with Rush & the Dead together? I happen to love both, for similar and different reasons. Neil Peart [Rush drummer] and Mickey Hart are personal friends and I know for a fact that Peart was at this very show (and that Mickey was at the Rush show at the Omni the following night).

so perhaps you should bring that cattle-prod with you? maybe run a full bath first then have at it.

Subject: talkers ruin tapes
you would figure by 1992 that tapers would have been armed w/ cattle prods to zap the talkers who ruin otherwise solid recordings...

it's not unbearable but it pulls this show's rating down a notch.

Subject: Good Show!
Lots of crowd noise, but I don't think it takes away from the show, it lets you feel the energy!! Worth a listen.
